While in the exotic urban commercial mecca that is Rochester, New York  
last week we picked up a tin of Dagoba Organic Xocolatl drinking  
chocolate (a.k.a. hot cocoa mix ;-)  ).

It contains cacao powder, dark chocolate, cane sugar, chili and  
cinnamon.

Haven't tried it yet. Isn't Dagoba where Yoda lives?
